GENERAL REMARKS AND LOCATION

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a detached house set within a generous plot of land in a very special geographic location. Nanshute Cottage is one of very few properties within the built-up environs of Portscatho having such a large garden and access from two road frontages. It also commands fabulous coastal views stretching from the the harbour in Portscatho across the entirety of Gerrans Bay and including Nare Head and the Dodman in the distance.The house was originally constructed about 100 years ago and has charming cottage-style proportions which are a delightful testimony to its period. The roof was replaced in natural slate in very recent years but internally the accommodation is now dated and warrants refurbishment. Whilst presently affording 3 bedroom accommodation (2 bedrooms on the first floor and a third at ground level) there is plenty of space to extend the dwelling, subject to any necessary consent.The villages of Portscatho and neighbouring Gerrans between them offer a range of facilities including a good general store, two public houses, social club, galleries, post office, primary school and doctors surgery. The village is situated approximately five miles from St. Mawes which has a regular foot passenger ferry service to Falmouth. The city of Truro is approximately sixteen miles by road but there is also a short cut route via the King Harry Ferry. Sailing facilities are available at nearby Percuil, there are a variety of beaches in the area whilst coastal and inland walks abound and most of which are owned and protected by the National Trust.

THE HOUSE

The dwelling was built in 1922 or thereabouts and is still delightfully original in terms of its layout and design. Many windows have replacement double glazing with simulated small pane casements and just 4/5 years ago the roof was replaced in natural slate. All main rooms enjoy the magnificent coastal views and whilst the house has an easterly aspect the rear garden has maximum advantage of the afternoon and evening sun. Internal heating is supplied by various electric storage radiators.

Landscaping has included stone paved pathways the full length of the site and giving access to a wide stone paved terrace edged with beds of Agapanthus to the front of the house and around one side. Much of the garden is now in grass with mature shrubs for easy maintenance but there is huge potential for further landscaping and especially the rear garden where there is scope for a secondary vehicle access, subject to the necessary planning consent.
